Hello. I am GLD, who has an interest in humour, wit, sarcasm, science fiction, fantasy, and just about everything that is interesting enough to read, sing along to, ponder about, or laugh about.

Now, I got the minimum of 15 words, so there you go.

(I really only entered because you said that anybody who sees this challenge has to enter it, and I have yet to learn how to unsee things. Maybe one day.)

My name is Rosemandle, and I love to write things that make me happy and hopefully inspire others! I am currently writing a short book called Besties, which has been great fun to write. I love tacos and pizza, and I want to either be a youtuber or a writer when I grow up.

Or maybe I' do both now! Who knows.....

There are so many newbies now! I think I'm kinda an OG? I have been on Prose for five or six years. I actually found it because of FastWeb when I was a junior or senior in high school because I wanted to make money from writing which I have literally NEVER learned how to do. Still don't know how to do it honestly? Anywho, I'm AJ. I'm a 22-year-old American that really likes cheese and is attracted to disappointment. I'm in college in my last semester, and I am crawling to the finish line like that poor daddy's long leg that was left a septipelgic when I pulled off 7 of his legs. I promise I'm not still that evil. I'm far too tired to do anything chaotic except shake Monster cans in Giant Eagle and give squirrels political advice.

I honestly am not online much anymore just because this whole adulting shit is exhausting. But, in the event that you peruse through the literal hundreds of entries I've made, you'll see that I like to do experimental work and that I love fantasy, sci-fi, and basically anything that makes you think. My favourite post on here is actually my story "Something for Lilo" (trigger warning: abortion) so, yeah. I think it represents me a lot as a writer. nowadays I'm kinda balancing all these huge ideas like ideas of religion and philosophy and science and politics, and even though it's like a mental marathon (and I do NOT run), I know that once I get time to start writing again, it's going to really shape my writing in ways that I can't wait to see.

What else can be said? I don't like the beach or mountains, both thanks to family reunions. I'm lowkey afraid of elephants and whales because I'm small and they can pretty easily kill me. Belugas are beautiful. I study biology. My favourite colours are lavender, grey, black, rainbow, and yellow in that order, and I was yesterday years old when I found out that you can put sparkles in alcohol (and today years old when I realized that it's just glitter and you will be up at all hours of the night). What's the difference between grey and gray? Only Grammarly knows apparently.

For anyone that read this, thanks for reading and to the person that made this challenge, thanks for making it! It's always fun to reach out to new Prosers and I really love the tradition we have here of getting people to talk to each other and get to know each other.

...and also, I've got some very important procrastinating to do, so hi everybody. The "R" in my name is for "Ryan," and I've been teaching high school English in the part of New York with cows for 16+ years. I joined Prose in October 2019 because I hadn't written anything for a very long time but wanted to. The community here kept me inspired and motivated so that I actually stuck with writing and worked on it for real. Through all the practice and experimentation, I improved.

The breakthrough came when I wrote a story titled "Rideshare": it was the best thing I'd written to that point, and when readers told me so, I moved from the maybe-someday phase of writing to the going-for-it phase of writing. Eighteen months later, I have a handful of small-outlet publications under my belt and 60,000 words of a novel. I'm a teacher--it's who I am and I love it--but regardless of how far my writing goes or doesn't, it no longer feels silly to think of myself as a writer. As a friend once told me, "A writer is one who writes," nothing more, nothing less, and I knew that, but Prose helped me to feel that. It's home.

(Longtime readers might remember "Rideshare," but if anyone is curious to read it, I'm happy to say the story got picked up by Sleet Magazine: https://www.sleetmagazine.com/selected/love_v13n2.html)

Cheers, everyone. Glad to be Prosing with you.

"If deep isn't your style,

then I'll push you into the ocean

and ask you if real life

is shallow.

I've been a member of Prose for more than 3 years. I write about anything and everything; fiction, poetry, long, short, people, monsters. I especially love writing in fantasy genres, horror, and sci-fi.

I really love the people that I've met through this website. Everyone is so supportive and I wish you all luck and success in your writing careers and life in general! Keep creating! :)

Hi! Hello!

It had been so long.

What can I say? Life is a mess.

But hey, I’m alive! Isn’t that great?

College is better than I thought it would be.

I love to talk, and my friends are in pain.

But it’s okay. They’ll adjust with it.

It’s me, after all.

How bad could it be?

What could be worse?

Never mind my brain.

He hasn’t changed much,

But so haven’t I!

Is this a poem?!

Uh, I don't think so...

Ah, I missed you all so much <3

G'day everyone, I'm SeanTILDawn. At dawn I'm no longer Sean, I become something of a weirdo at sunrise. I'm Australian, studying my bachelor's in Liberal Arts, and covid19 has impacted my studying in almost every way possible: the only two nuisances left are someone I know dying from it, or me catching it. As I write this my campus has gone into complete lockdown because several of the students tested positive and the bloody government decided to stick their noses into the affair.

I'm not good at a lot of things. Basketball and Aussie Rules football, making people laugh, staying awake longer than everyone else, and an animal charmer is all I've got going for me. I love my movies and tv shows: some of them, like Doctor Who and Agents of Shield, have changed my life and are deeply personal for me. I am a Star Wars nerd, with three combat lightsabers: blue, green, and orange. I have asthma and insomnia and a bunch of other allergies that I don't even know, I've nearly died five times from the asthma, and I've never broken a bone, even though I'm as skinny as a rake. I love writing stories, both long and short, because it's a way I can communicate with people, because I can't keep a conversation going to save a life. I like being alone, I talk to myself more than to other people, I ADORE cats so much. My music is weird too; I listen to movie soundtracks 95% of the time because they inspire me more than any song lyrics or wonderful voices ever could. I've grown up Catholic and love the Traditional Latin Mass, I combed my moustache today for the first time, and the only things I know about Love are Jesus dying for our sins for love of every one of us, and how I feel about my cats back home. (I am incredibly mad every day that we aren't allowed to keep cats on campus). I have never been in a relationship, and feel like I would prefer growing old alone with a bunch of cats. We'll see what God wants though.

I come from a family of seven, five boys two girls, I am number three and the tallest at 6'3. I have a wandering attention span, so I never excel at anything besides Star Wars/Doctor Who/MARVEL facts. I love helping people, and maybe once every couple of months I can collect myself to pass on words of wisdom to a needy soul. I love my chocolate, chips, and soft drink, and I vowed before God not to drink alcohol until I'm 21, to make up for all those who drink underage or get drunk on a regular basis. Four months to go and I'm not exactly looking forward to it: my older brother took the same vow and when he talked to me after a few months of being 21 he said, "Drinking is so overrated", which were some of the most pleasant words I had heard come from his mouth, because I had been genuinely afraid he would end up a regular drunkard (he's got that sort of personality). Being at campus in a fairly dangerous neighbourhood has made me feel more protective about my younger siblings, my sisters in particular, and I want both of them to run any possible boyfriends by me first: I have a secret and infallible way of intimidating them and testing them at the same time. I don't have favourite movies, I have sad movies: top three are Mortal Engines, Do You Believe?, and Rogue One: I cry buckets every time I watch them. I have a Shaun the Sheep costume, I hate parties and loud music, I can't dance at all, I hate acting apart from the normal day to day stuff, and I can imitate voices, e.g. Gollum, Donald Duck, Elmo. And I love reading books. And that's probably about it. Ciao!

I am Iamagoofball, a name that my sister made for me when I was eight, and I just never changed it. I've been here for about a year and a half. I'm always super busy, but that's how I like life. I love working with kids, volunteering, helping people, playing guitar, and, of course, writing! I write mostly fantasy, but I will change it up sometimes. My best friend is also a writer on the Prose (The one who introduced me to it actually) AnneLGrey. I want to publish a book within the next three years (But I have to finish it first). I love my family, friends, my dog, and my church.
